A main switch under building two was the cause of the power failure, said David Maxson, director of the physical plant. The power was out for some time, but through the quick work of Skyline Electric, a generator was found and the power was restored, Maxson said. The buildings will be relying on the generator until repairs are done, he said.

I Ching said there were no problems with the computer programs on the PCs. Some classes were cancelled on Wednesday because of the outage, but resumed on Thursday with no problems reported, Maxson said. "We really appreciate the support given to us in the finding and installation of the back-up system by Skyline Electric' he said.

You shouldn't have to work really hard to make a relationship right," Gottblatt said.

She said patience is the best way to get what you want for an end result in a relationship because you will never be able to change anyone to your own desires. Gottblatt also said if a relationship is right, it will come easy and you shouldn't want to change your partner.
